What was happening in the world during the time your artist was working

How your artist was influenced by the events going on in the world

Based on your research, creatively tell the stories of the two painters.

Presentation Guidelines:

Presentation should not be more than 3 minutes long

Music (from the time period) should accompany your presentation; it should add to the presentation, not detract from it.

Use enough images to help communicate the message; images should be relevent

Images chosen should be powerful paintings that clearly relate to what is being discussed.

Include a title that includes your artists' names, your name, and Advanced Drawing & Painting Spring 2012

Include an introduction/slide describing the project.

Work through the "story" of the older painter, using your words and images to give a full picture of who this artist was.

Work through the "story" of the contemporary painter, using your words and images to give a full picture of who this artist is.

At the end of your movie, link your older artist with your contemporary one through art and possibly experiences.

As you will be making a work of art in conjunction with doing this research, it would be logical if you see some connections between your art and that of these two artists.

Include a conclusion that describes what you learned as a result of completing this project (which would include both the research and your painting experience). Please identify three things and explain their importance. It might be appropriate to read this while looking at your painting.

Include your bibliography, in MLA format, at the end of your presentation.

First Step: Submit a proposal for the two artists you will use: there are so many decisions; some will not be appropriate. My word is final. Before submitting, make sure you can find enough information on the artist.

Second Step: Thoroughly research your artists, "filling in the blanks" for the necessary information above.

Third Step: Pull together your imovie!

You will be working on your painting in class and your research and imovie as homework. Please be aware of the deadlines; you will be assessed for your work up to each due date.

(you should host your presentation on your iweb page)

Practice presentations with a partner and give feedback so it is not boring (draw a box or draw a BOX!)
